Smart devices work far better on real wire than on borrowed Wi-Fi. OSB does the neutral wires, the CAT6 runs and the switch layout that make a Prides Crossing smart home reliable instead of frustrating.
“Every smart switch I bought failed because there was no neutral. They pulled neutrals in the rooms that needed it and set up the rest properly.”
“The quote they gave me on the phone was the number on the invoice. That is apparently rare and it shouldn't be.”
“Fan on a vaulted ceiling that two handymen said couldn't be done. Right downrod, right box, level and silent.”
Nine times out of ten there's no neutral conductor in the switch box — common in older Prides Crossing homes. We either pull a neutral or fit a switch designed to run without one.
Yes. CAT6, coax and low-voltage runs are part of most smart home jobs we do.
We install hardwired cameras, PoE runs, and doorbell transformers sized for modern video units.
For anything that must not drop — cameras, access points, hubs — wired wins every time. Wireless is fine for lamps and sensors.
That's the ideal moment. Open walls make structured wiring dramatically cheaper, so call before the drywall goes up.
